Which 5770 to buy.

[CrysisComa]

ok so i found a very good deal on a xfx 5770. however my primary concern is that from the reviews iv heard that these is a lot of crash issues and problems.

heres where i went to look at the reviews
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814150447

however the model is different on the two. one is the ZNFC, while the other is the ZNFR. but does that mean the cards are still the same? or could the problem have been fixed with the different model?



or could anyone suggest a reliable 5770. i would like a less expensive one, but my primarily i want a reliable card.



would it be better to go with this?

The problem that you mention is strictly driver related, i would go with XFX but that just me...

Most of the problems have already been ironed out and they only applied to a rather small percentage of users to begin with.

do you know if they, or when they will release drivers to fix the problem? and is it a problem with xfx or Ati? the way i see it if its a Ati problem then it wont matter which company i buy.
